Can You Bring a tote bag to Canadian Tire Centre?

Yes — If Clear

Only if it's clear. Canadian Tire Centre enforces a clear bag policy (maximum 14"×14"×6"), so a standard canvas or fabric tote bag will be turned away at the gate. A clear tote bag of the same size is the perfect compliant alternative — roomy, practical, and transparent.
